You gain Windows 10.
...with DirectX 12.
When west germany annexed east germany, nobody moved a finger too.

Meh nothing to surprising there.

Tbh I'm not really bothered about the security aspect. Maybe if I was more paranoid.

It's not about paranoia. Or at least not only about that.

It's about shitty stuff like them restarting your PC automatically and forcing you to update, which sucks ass.

Basically, a lot of this is about taking control away from the user. "We know what's best for you." That's really bad, and the opposite of what they should be doing.
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure when I checked you can turn windows update off. Maybe this is an older picture compilation. Will double check tonight and report.

Stuff like the files automatically syncing seems to only be when you actually register your PC to a microsoft e.g. hotmail email address. I did mine but there's no reason to and it's not in your face or anything.

Sorry for chainposting.

Might be a DNS problem then. When you manually configure an IP, use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS, those are from Google.

Yeah i tried basically everything auto dns, manual dns, auto ip, manual ip.. when on auto ip ipconfig wont show a default gateway and when on manual ip it connects and says that it has connection but no internet works.:(

Windows 10 by default steals your upload bandwidth in peer to peer to stream its updates to other windows 10 users, including outside of your local network: http://www.forbes.com/technology/trending/

If they continue this way, we won't have to worry about them and actions (like forcing Edge on users despite previous punishment for doing that). Fuckers finally started bleeding, few more "smart" moves like buying Nokia and they'll go down under.

Staying on Win7, waiting for Saint Gabe to kick their arse hard in gaming segment and obliterate need for DirectX 12.

Yes pls. Xbox sucks nowadays. Let Playstation and Nintendo rule the console market and Windows can go fight Steam instead.

They won't do that. Xbox is generating profit. Actually Microsoft Xbox & Gaming division made profit while SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment, console divison) had huge loss last quarter because of SOE (now called Daybreak). But in general Microsoft had few billions loss last quarter because of Nokia. Wonder when they will decide to show loss they will most certainly have because of splashing stupid money on Minecraft.

Microsoft is terrible at buying other companies but so far they could get away with it because their profit was sky high. That isn't the case anymore and latest moves were really beefy buys which left them wounded temporarily.

They need Windows 10 to be huge success, otherwise everybody in PC business will suffer (OEMs are suffering already because PC's aren't selling well).

In other news, Valve is making shitload of money.

Nintendo rule the console market.

Nintendo is a fucking joke these days. They sold only 10 million units of that crap Wii U. That console should be discontinued.

Last time console sold 10 million units in three years on market, it went down. And it was actually the best console of its generation, not crap like Wii U. Poor Dreamcast, you deserved better.

So I just did a fresh install of w10 (finaly) and I had the same problem, using the buildin diagnosis tool fixed it though. It said my default gateway was unreachable although I had everything configured just fine.

The Wii U is actually the best console of this generation for some people due to its decent lineup. Nintendo games are rarely bad, despite being iterative.

Console market is going to die, theyre born already obsolete; people are different from 2001 ans they know what a graphic card is (more or less)

They won't do that. Xbox is generating profit. Actually Microsoft Xbox & Gaming division made profit while SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment, console divison) had huge loss last quarter because of SOE (now called Daybreak).

They should and most likely will; they took a good step forward by sharing xone and pc exclusives
